They came up with plans to prevent suicide and tackle climate change. Then on Day 4 of the reality TV challenge came a final twist in a series of increasingly bizarre and dangerous experiments.
What’s so bizarre about this particular challenge is the amount of secrecy around it and the sheer scale of the secret police. The entire world is under 24-hour surveillance. A team of psychologists and engineers is secretly filming your every move.
And it has nothing to do with a reality TV show.
In one episode this year, the contestants are being tested on a series of survival skills. They are being asked to improvise a set of instructions to make their way through a set of obstacles without falling into a crevice, slipping into deep water, or being eaten by bears.
There’s no TV news coverage, and there’s no official press release.
All you see are the participants carrying on with their daily normal lives, some of them with kids, some of them with dogs, and others of them with their jobs.
The show airs on Netflix in the US, with shows in 25 different countries worldwide, including India and Australia.
The contestants are asked to improvise a set of instructions to make their way through a set of obstacles without falling into a crevice, slipping into deep water, or being eaten by bears.
They will compete on an eight-day challenge that will see them competing over the next four days to build a snowman in a matter of hours, with one person leaving the final challenge each night to spend 30 minutes in bed with the help of a sleeping potion so they can rest up for the next morning.
Each day the show’s designers throw some new obstacles in, with the challenge changing depending on the day and who is at the top of the leaderboard.
But the one thing that will stay the same is that the contestants have to be the best at completing the tasks, with one person leaving the final challenge each night to spend 30 minutes in bed with the help of a sleeping potion so they can rest up for the next morning.
It turns out that the participants are not the only ones under 24-hour surveillance. A team of psychologists and engineers are secretly filming your every move.
